Ganapati Bappa Moriya

Ganesh Chaturthi is  celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh .It  is an important  festival celebrated with joy for ten days.  The main  dishes or prasadams prepared for Ganesh chaturthi are  modaks.. But we prepare some special recipes for this festival..

These are wheat noodles or talikalu  handmade at home..  few years back people  used to make noodles of thin and thick size with good quality wheat flour at home only. There  is a special machine to  make this wheat noodles at home.. They used to make in a large quantity during summer. Dry them thoroughly in sun and store for whole year..  But now semya or vermicelli is  easily available in market..  Still we prefer to make these  wheat noodles  at home. If there is  no pressing  machine, we would make with hands only. Sometimes we prepare two or three days before and dry them, or make it on the festival day and continue with cooking.

Ingredients :

Wheat noodles /talikalu – 200 gms

Jaggery  – 250 gms

Milk -  250 ml

Cardamom powder – 1 tsp

Ghee – 5 tbsp

Dry fruits – 6 each

Wash the wheat noodles and take three times the quantity of water in a pressure cooker. Add a spoon of ghee and cook it till done..  Add milk, grated jaggery and cook well.  The noodles should be fully cooked and soft. Add cardamom  powder and remaining ghee and mix well.  Garnish with sliced  dry fruits and offer to Lord Ganesh ..

I wish all the readers a  Happy Ganesh Chaturthi..
